I'll unpack this in a way that actually helped me when I was learning Indonesian: the phrase 'my little brother' in English most commonly means a younger male sibling, and the most natural Indonesian translation is 'adikku' or, in a more formal register, 'saudara laki-laki saya yang lebih muda.' 'Adik' by itself already contains the idea of 'younger sibling,' so adding 'laki-laki' makes the gender explicit if context demands it.
From experience watching family dramas and even anime like 'My Hero Academia' where sibling dynamics are a big deal, I noticed Indonesians use 'adikku' a lot in casual speech — think of it like saying 'my bro' with warmth. If you wanted to emphasize that he is small in size rather than younger in age, you'd pick different words: 'adik saya yang kecil' or 'saudara laki-laki saya yang kecil.' But in everyday use, when someone says 'my little brother,' most Indonesians will hear 'adik saya' and assume younger rather than physically little.
A few practical examples I use when explaining this to friends: "This is my little brother" → "Ini adikku." Formal: "This is my little brother" → "Ini saudara laki-laki saya yang lebih muda." If you want slangy/casual: "Ini adik gue" (very informal). Cultural tip: family terms in Indonesian carry respect and closeness — 'kakak' for older sibling, 'adik' for younger — and you’ll find those used even between non-related people to signal seniority or affection (like calling a junior at school or club your 'adik'). Personally, I love how such a simple phrase can be so warm in Indonesian; it’s one of those language quirks that always makes me smile.
In plain terms, 'my little brother' usually translates to 'adikku' in Indonesian, which most people will use to mean a younger male sibling. If you want to be extra clear or formal, say 'saudara laki-laki saya yang lebih muda.'
Remember the nuance: 'little' often means younger, not necessarily small in stature. If size matters, add 'kecil' as in 'adik saya yang kecil.' For casual chat, you'll hear variants like 'adik gue' or 'adikku' — the former is slangy, the latter more affectionate. I tend to teach friends the short, cozy form 'adikku' first because it’s what you’ll hear in families, songs, and plenty of character interactions in shows I follow. It always feels homey to me.

Extract:
“Fratello,” he murmured, his lips curling into that maddening grin.
“What?” My chest tightened.
“That’s your safe word,” he said. “Say it once, and everything stops. I won’t touch you again. From that moment, I’ll only ever treat you as my stepbrother.”
Even as he spoke, his hand gripped me, and I gasped, trembling. My body betrayed me, responding in ways I hated and craved all at once.
“Until you say that word,” he whispered, eyes dark with something between amusement and hunger, “you’re mine. Mine, brother.”

"This doesn't make sense," I whispered, my hand on the door knob.
"We can't tell mom and dad," he whispered back into the darkness.
"You can't be my mate!?" I hissed back, "You're my brother."
"I'm not going to resist the sparks, April," he growled, "or the pull, and feeling of want... Do you hear me?"
"W-what?"
"I want you so bad it hurts," he whispered.
It was like my lips moved and spoke for me.
"Then take me."
His warm lips smashed onto mine, finding them in the dark. Sparks lit the tiny closet up, and suddenly I knew where he was, almost as if we were in a room full of light. I could see every move he made, and I wanted him to make a move on me.
I kissed him back with force and longing.
My first kiss is with my brother.

Ever since I was born, my parents bound me to a Pain Transfer System. My body was covered in scars.
My older brother, Dylan Jeater, had albinism and Hydroa Vacciniforme. His condition was so severe that he could not be exposed to any light. Doctors determined that he would only live to be sixteen years old.
However, Dylan had always been playful. He often snuck outside. Eventually, his body was covered in sores.
My father, Robert Jeater, worked day and night to earn money. He finally bought two Pain Transfer System wristbands at a high price for Dylan and me.
For six years, the pain Dylan felt from every sun exposure had been transferred to me.
My mother, May Jeater, always held me gently and treated my wounds.
She said, “Chester, I’m sorry. I just want Dylan to be happy in the time he has left. I hope you understand.”
On New Year’s Eve, my parents took Dylan out. It was very sunny that day.
As soon as we left the house, my whole body broke out in blisters. I could not help but cry out in pain.
Dylan tore off his wristband and broke down sobbing.
“Does it hurt? Fine, if you think it hurts so much, then turn off the transfer! Let me just die of the pain!
“I’ll only live up to sixteen anyway. I’m going to die sooner or later.”
His body became severely sunburned, and he lost consciousness.
Mom shoved me to the ground.
“Dylan never complained once in all those years of pain! After only six years of it being passed to you, you’re already breaking down?!
“He’s only going to live to be sixteen! Is it wrong to want him to be happy in his last few years?”
Dad picked up Dylan.
“I don’t want you getting hurt either, but the pain can only be transferred between biological brothers.”
They then rushed him to the hospital.
I picked up the wristband from the ground. A message popped up on the screen.
